Gold History

Gold has been known and highly valued since prehistoric times. It may have been the first metal used by the human and was valued for ornamentation and rituals. Ancient Egypt and Nubia had the resources to make them major gold-producing areas for much of the history. Gold is also mentioned in the Old Testament and is included with the gifts of the magi in the first chapter of Matthew New Testament.

The European exploration of the Americas was fueled in no small part by reports of the gold ornaments displayed in great profusion by Native American peoples, especially in Central America, Peru, and Colombia.

Gold has long been considered one of the most precious metals, and its value has been used as the standard for many currencies. In history. Gold has been used as a symbol for purity, value, royalty and particularly roles that combine these properties.

Characteristics

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au and atomic number 79. The metal occurs as nuggets or grains in rocks, underground veins and in alluvial deposits. It is a dense, soft, shiny, yellow metal.

Gold is the most malleable and ductile metal; a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of one square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold readily forms alloys with many other metals. These alloys can be produced to increase the hardness or to create exotic colors.

Gold is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Heat, moisture, oxygen and most corrosive agents have very little chemical effects on gold, making it well-suited for use in coins and jewelry. Modern industrial uses include dentistry and electronics, where gold has traditionally found use because of its good resistance to oxidative corrosion.

Applications

Pure gold is too soft for ordinary use and is typically hardened by alloying with silver, copper, or other metals. In various countries, gold and its many alloys, are most often used in jewelry, coinage and as a standard for monetary exchange. When sold in the form of jewelry, gold is measured in carats (K), with pure gold being designated as 24K. It is, however, more commonly sold in lower measurements of 22K, 18K, 14K and 10K. A lower “K” indicates that a higher percent of copper or silver in the alloy.

Gold forms the basis for a monetary standard used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

Production

The primary goal of the alchemists was to produce gold from other substances, such as lead. Although they never succeeded in their attempts, the alchemists promoted an interest in what can be done with substances, and it laid the foundation for today's chemistry.

During the 19^(th) century, gold rushes occurred whenever large gold deposits were discovered. The first major gold strike in the United States occurred in a small north Georgia town called Dahlonega. Further gold rushes occurred in California, Colorado, Otago, Australia,

Economic gold extraction can be achieved from ore grades as little as 0.5 g/1000 kg (0.5 ppm) on average in large easily mined deposits. Typical ore grades in open-pit mines are 1-5 g/1000 kg (1-5 ppm), ore grades in underground or hard rock mines are usually at least 3 g/1000 kg (3 ppm) on average. Since ore grades of 30 g/1000 kg (30 ppm) are usually needed before gold is visible to the naked eye, in most gold mines, the gold is invisible.

Since the 1880's, South Africa has been the source for a large proportion of the world's gold supply. Production in 1970 accounted for 70% of the world supply, producing about 1,000 tonnes. However, production in 2004 was 342 tonnes. This decline was due to the increasing difficulty of extraction and changing economic factors affecting the industry in South Africa. The city of Johanesburg was built atop the world's largest gold field.

Other major producers are Canada, United States and Australia. Mines in South Dakota and Nevada supply two-thirds of gold used in the United States. Siberian regions of Russia used to be significant in the global gold mining industry. In South America, the controversial project Pasuca Lama aims at the exploration of rich gold fields in the high mountains of Atacama Desert, at the border between Chili and Argentina.

After initial production, gold is subsequently refined industrially by the Wohlwill process or the Miller process. Other methods of assaying and purifying smaller amounts of gold include parting and inquartation as well as cuppelation, or refining methods based on the dissolution of gold in aqua regia.

The average gold mining and extraction costs are US$238 per troy ounce, but these can vary widely depending on mining type and ore quality. In 2001, global mine production amounted to 2,604 tonnes. At the end of 2001, it was estimated that all the gold ever mined totaled 145,000 tonnes.

Price

Like other precious metal, gold is measured by troy weight and by grams. When it is alloyed with other metals, the term carat (K) is used to indicate the amount of gold present, with 24K being pure gold and lower ratings proportionally less.

The price of gold is determined on the open market, but a procedure known as the “Gold Fixing” in London, originating in 1919, provides a daily benchmark figure to the industry.

Historically gold was used to back currency in an economic system known as the “gold standard”, a certain weight of gold was given the name of a unit of currency. For a long period, the United States government set the value of the US dollar so that one troy ounce of gold was equal to US$20.67. But in 1934, the dollar was revalued to $35.00 per troy ounce. By 1961, it was becoming hard to maintain this price, and a pool of US and European banks agreed to manipulate the market to prevent further currency devaluation against increased gold demand. On March 1968, economic circumstances caused the collapse of the gold pool, and a two-tiered scheme was established whereby gold was still used to settle international accounts at the old $35.00 per troy ounce, but the price of gold on the private market was allowed to fluctuate. This two-tiered pricing system was abandoned in 1975 when the price of gold was left to find its free-market level. Central banks still hold historical gold reserves as a store of value although the level has generally been declining. The largest gold depository in the world is that of the US Federal Reserve Bank in New York, which holds about 3% of the gold ever mined.

Since 1968, the price of gold on the open market has ranged widely, with record high of $850/oz on 21 Jan. 1980 to a low of $252.90/oz on 11 May 2006.

Platinum History

Naturally-occurring platinum have been known for a long time. Though the metal was used by pre-Columbia Native Americans, the first European reference to platinum appeared in 1557 in the writings of Italian humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558) as a description of a mysterious metal found in Central America. The word platinum comes from the Spanish word platina, meaning ‘little Silver.”

Platinum was discussed by astronomer Antonio de Ulloa and Don JorgeJuan Santacilia (1713-1773), both appointed by King Philip V to join a geographical expedition in Peru that lasted from 1735 to 1745. Among other things, Ulloa observed the platina del pinto, the unworkable metal found with gold in Colombia.

Characteristics

Platinum is a chemical element with symbol Pt and atomic number 78. A heavy, malleable, ductile precious grey-white metal. It is corrosion resistant. It also possesses high resistance to chemical attack and stable electrical properties. Platinum does not oxidize in air at any temperature. It is insoluble in hydrochloric and nitric acid, but does dissolve in the mixture known as aqua regia.

Application

Platinum's wear- and tarnish-resistance characteristics are well suited for making fine jewelry. It is also used in laboratory equipment, electrical contacts, dentistry, and automobile emission control devices.

Because of its outstanding catalytic properties platinum is used in catalytic converters, incorporated in automobile exhaust system, and the tips of spark plugs.

Production

Platinum is an extremely rare metal, occurring as only 5 ppb in the earth's crust.

Platinum occurs in alluvial placer deposits in South Africa, Colombia, Canada, the Ural Mountains and western American states. South Africa is the largest producer of platinum in the world.

Platinum is often found chemically uncombined as native platinum and alloyed with iridium as platiniridium. The platinum arsenide is a major source of platinum associated with nickel ores in the Sudbury Basin deposit in Ontario, Canada Platinum is produced commercially as a by-product of nickel-ore processing in the Sudbury Basin deposit.

World supply of platinum is around 199,000 kg per year.

Rarity and Price

Platinum is much more rare than gold. Its rarity has caused advertisers to associate it with exclusivity and wealth. “Platinum awards” are the second highest honor, ranking above gold, silver and bronze, only below diamond. The frame of the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother manufactured for her Coronation as Consor of King George VI, is made of platinum. It was the first British crown to be made of that metal.

Platinum's production cost fluctuates around US$1,100 per ounce. Due to its rarity, platinum is a highly priced metal, much more than gold.

Particle Accelerator

A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speed. These high speed particles contain high energy.

Particle Bombardment Technique

Particles accelerated by particle accelerator to high energy can be used to bombard target elements for conducting experiments This is called particle bombardment technique.

Nuclear Fusion

Nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy depending on the masses of the nuclei involved.

Cold Fusion

Cold fusion is a nuclear fusion process that occurs at normal temperature.
